[Game Update] - 660872

[JesseB_Klei]

Changes

• Wortox may now place Souls into a Soul Jar when they are in a Soul Echo timer if there are at least 2 Souls in the inventory. This will act like you opened the Soul Jar first and expire the timer.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Luminous Wrath’s planar damage sometimes persisting after the Elixir effects are over.
• Fixed Gestalt Abigail “Attack At” command’s diminishing damage not affecting planar damage.
• Fixed Gestalt Abigail sometimes deviating from her target position during the “Attack At” command.
• Fixed being able to interrupt Abigail’s unsummoning state by using a command.
• Fixed Wortox's skill icons that add crafting recipes to have the corner crafting symbols used in other skill trees.
• Fixed being able to mutate Abigail in the caves.
• Fixed Blessed Sisturn I skill effects not being properly disabled when the skill is disabled.
• Fixed new Masquerader skins not having quotation marks on their quotes.
• Fixed Lurking Nightmare sounds not having their volume adjusted based on distance.
• Fixed Spirit Vessel’s placer not being accurate to the stored Headstone visuals.
• Fixed a crash when deconstructing a burnt Chest.
• Fixed Warly's Masquerader, Moonbound, and Candy Man skins lacking the beard sprite art when facing up.
• Fixed Wortox's Knabsack picking up items that are on fire.
• Fixed Bigspook scrapbook image looking like a regular ghost.
• Fixed Headstone placer not showing the grave visuals.
• Added missing Gilded Depths Worm Figure and Sketch crafting recipe descriptions.
• Fixed occasional crash when using Abigail’s attack at command.
• Fixed Hound and Depths Worm attack waves sometimes happening twice for a player that entered or exited the caves, or rolled back the server, during the warning period.
• Fixed being able to plant on the following turfs: Ancient Stonework, Ancient Flooring, Ancient Tilework and Ancient Brickwork (and imitations). This also makes world regrowth not happen on them.
• Tweaked Inthralled Corpse death to look more like the player death and also fixed the Skeleton not having the proper player information.
• Fixed ice tile’s “save players” logic causing players to actually drown most of the time by trying to put them in an unexisting ice floe.
• Fixed misplaced and duplicated minimap icons on clients, caused by map revealing objects like Ocuvigils.
• Fixed being unable to catch fish in the ocean in some situations with distances being too far.

Pity, that was supposed to be a very interesting and reasonable gameplay.

[DegenerateFurry]

Bruh, Wendy's just getting bullied at this point. The commands still have shared cooldowns and she's getting nerfs? 

[Walrusst]

Ok so things are more accurate but have the numbers work as intended it sounds like. I'd have to see how the positioning fix actually plays out any differently but it might not be as bad as people are saying.

She could have done all the damage in the world before but if she was missing it was actually no damage.

Well, that and edge cases with wortoxes controlls getting fixed.

Is the last thing about how ocean trawlers seemingly didn't work sometimes? I'll have to check this!

The last update was literally a straight up buff, giving "attack at" damage to Gestalt Abigail where none existed.  They just corrected a bug with the planar damage, and it is still an overall objective buff from the as released version.   Unless you would rather they just revert back to "attack at" doing no damage?

If anything, it is the opposite of Wendy getting bullied.

Means Woodie can't plant trees inside atrium to spawn treeguards to fight Fuelweaver anymore.

Btw, I thought the planar damage not being reduced on Gestalt Abigail attack command was intended, planar damage doesnt get reduced in general, it was a really cool interaction and not powerful, it should have stayed.

You can not.

I’m playing 33 Immortals, I gave up on Wendy, the best done character in that whole update chain seems to be Walter, he’s actually fun now. Wendy on the other hand- Should probably be reverted to before she even got a skill tree. Sad to see the Woodie Treeguards get nerfed before I even had a chance to use them…

I think considering they’re a valid part of his combat kit, it shouldn’t be considered cheese/exploits.

So does this also mean Winona can’t place catapults and spotlights in these turf zones as well?

Is a catapult or spotlight similar to a pinecone?

It is late game option. With short lasting consumable. Mb it could stay as it is.

Do you know how to put off fire? Just cover item quickly. I mean it was ok Physicswise. And i think it is good tool for this specific situation.

It technically was not a straight up buff because they also increased the cooldown from 4 to 10 seconds. It takes me significantly longer to kill tentapillars with the new Attack At, for example.

I also thought this would be kept as-is since planar's main schtick is not being affected by multipliers, but I guess it was a bug all along.

speakin of no world regrowth mechanic, how about something locked behind alchemy tier that makes us put something into the ground to make it stop growing plants and stuff, wich only works on turf tiles so to remove the effect just remove the turf completly

Walls and other structures works. i do not know exact radius. mb like 6 tiles. You never saw a tree growing up from nothing in the middle of your base

[DVGMedia]

It really seems like you guys really don't want players to use wendys affinities at this point.
Lunar is just a mess of different ideas and designs of what she should be.
She is supposed to be the set it and forget it version of abby that allows her to be more evasive and survivable. Yet she is locked behind killing champion.
Something that most new players don't even really get the chance to do. so much for her being The easy choice.

Shadow is already redundant and most people tend to only use bulk murders in boss fights to eek out that extra dps.  And basically nothing happens.

This is not a fun skill tree. It adresses some problems with wendy a bit however thats literally all it does. There is nothing Fun about this skill tree other than Team spirit.

Everything seems like a chore.  And now theres really basically no point in using anything other than her potions Because everything else is basically boring.

Gabbys attack at could potentially have a niche if its back at 4 seconds instead of 10  so that way players can at least double tap creatures with gabby inbetween cooldowns.
Giving her more synergy with the commands.  I know this goes agaisnt the concept klei wanted for gabby where she is ment to not require as much control as regular abby  But this would at least make her more interesting to choose when playing as wendy.

Yea, but how about ability to place down the headstones onto empty graves?

@Jason

When facing bosses like Celestial Champion II and Ancient Guardian, which require frequent positional adjustments, Lunar Abigail was already not proficient. She needed to use the “Attack At” ability more often to adjust her position. Now, with the cooldown adjusted to a full 10 seconds, the experience is even worse. The damage reduction mechanism of “Attack At” already significantly limited the practicality of this skill, and now, with the guaranteed 100 planar damage in the late game gone, it's even more problematic. My evaluation is that it would have been better not to change "Attack At" at all. Don't give the damage of “Attack At” if its CD needs to be 10 seconds. This skill not only fails to deliver clear damage, but it also prevents me from adjusting my position more effectively.

This change gives me the impression that the designers are terrified of players deriving enjoyment from “manipulating Lunar Abigail themselves to leverage her strengths and overcome her weaknesses,” and are thus trying every possible way to impose various cumbersome restrictions on players. The same issue exists with Shadow Affinity. The extended duration of the sacrifice is quite conservative, and it's merely a numerical increase. What novelty does Shadow Affinity bring? Yes, killing 40 butterflies can generate some Krampus, which adds more chaos to the battle. Perhaps this is what you consider “fun.”

• Fixed misplaced and duplicated minimap icons on clients, caused by map revealing objects like Ocuvigils.

 

Some save files have an issue where buildings, plants, the minimap icons from the base appear in another region. When you walk around that region, the icons disappear, just like a mirage. Has this issue finally been fixed in this update?

Additionally, I’d like to bring up another issue: the more areas are explored, or even when the entire map is revealed, opening the minimap and zooming out to the maximum view range causes the frame rate to drop to around 10 FPS or even lower. In severe cases, the minimap freezes completely, and attempts to zoom in or out using the mouse wheel become unresponsive. I hope this issue can be addressed.

 Look, all I want is for Team Spirit's cooldowns to be at least separated from each other. There's so much fun strategic potential in doing command combos that it's insane that Klei's not letting us use them.
